Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Many marginal farmers in an area organize themselves into groups and synchronize and harmonize selected agricultural operations
The ‘Small Farmer Large Field’ (SFLF) model is a collective-action approach in which many marginal farmers pool themselves and synchronise specific farm operations (land preparation, input purchase, marketing, etc.) to gain economies of scale while retaining individual land ownership. Option (b) captures this essence; the other options describe refugee resettlement, corporate lease farming, or contract farming, none of which match the SFLF concept.
